A first Mute Coming—
In the Stranger's House—
A first fair Going—
When the Bells rejoice—

A first Exchange—of
What hath mingled—been—
For Lot—exhibited to
Faith—alone—

A very interesting choice of words! Knowing Emily’s style and the use of word faith I take this poem as a spiritual awakening of self. In silence of heart enters that mute awakening that blooms as an inspiration. A mingling of our confined self with the free and wider cosmic self. It is what creates the bliss of spiritual life represented by church bell as well as joy of worldly life represented by fair. That is my intake of this poem. I could so immerse in its beauty and bliss.
